Description

Test the AVRCP volume up and down commands.

Resources

  • A Bluetooth adapter
  • An A2DP Source and AVRCP capable phone (Nokia N9 — do not use an Android 4.2 phone as their Bluetooth AVRCP support is broken)
  • Note that you do not need to play any music on the phone; nor do you need to have headphones or a speaker plugged into the Apertis device.

Pre Conditions

  1. Ensure Rootfs is remounted as read/write.
    2. $ sudo mount -o remount,rw /
  2. Install dependencies
    3. $ sudo apt install apertis-tests python3-dbus python3-gi
  3. Restart the system to restore the filesystem state to read-only before running the test.
    4. $ sudo reboot

Execution Steps

  1. Ensure PulseAudio is activated:
    2. $ pactl stat
  2. Run btmon before any connection happens:
    3. $ sudo btmon  | grep -A4 'AV/C: Control'
  3. Start simple agent:
    4. $ /usr/lib/chaiwala-tests/bluez/simple-agent -y
  4. Pair both devices initiating from the phone side
  5. Pay attention to the simple-agent window as it requires input during the pairing process.
  6. In another terminal, execute (You can get the Bluetooth device address by running hcitool scan):
    7. $ /usr/lib/chaiwala-tests/bluez/test-avrcp.py -i hci0 device_address

Expected

If success, the following output should be generated by btmon:
